winter dog booties for Lily

I've been sewing Lily winter booties for the past five winters out of polar fleece, leather, Velcro and elastic.  The problem with the homemade ones, is that the polar fleece wears out too quickly.  Lily is walked every day and my booties last her about four weeks with repairs.  After a great deal of research on the net, I found neopaws a Canadian company in Ontario that manufactures these wonderful boots for dogs.  The bottom is like a running shoe and the top is made of neoprene held together with Velcro fasteners. 

 

Lily was so busy running around in her new winter dog shoes, that getting a good photo was difficult.

 For one instant she was actually standing still and if dogs can smile, I think she is indeed smiling. 

We went for our usual four kilometre walk.  The shoes stayed on and I think she likes them.
